News Round Up: New Batman, Aliens Reviews and Bungie’s Destiny

First up is the word that a successor to Batman: Arkham City is in the works and will be coming out this year! Warners Bros. Interactive announced it quietly during an earnings call with the actual reveal coming in a few months. Rumors are abound about what the next Arkham game will be about, with Rocksteady either going back to the Silver Age of comics for inspiration or not being involved with the project at all. Arkham City and Arkham Asylum scribe Paul Dini will definitely not be returning, however.

And last but not least, Bungie is officially letting Destiny out in the open, with a bunch of video game journalists visiting the Bellevue, Washington studio this week. The official reveal is coming on the 17 and you can get all your social media teases through the links on Bungie’s page.

So what do you guys thinks of these little snippets of news? Excited for a new Batman? Thoughts on the Aliens controversy? Are you signing on for Destiny?

I’m pretty curious to see what Destiny is about. Bungie has always been synonymous with Halo, and now that they’ve passed the torch, so to speak, I’d like to see what they’re direction with this one is. As for Colonial Marines, as stupid as this sounds, it might have reviewed low and I’ve heard that it’s bad, but that makes me want to play it even the more.
